Accountability for torture

Given that 1) waterboarding is torture and torture is a war crime without a statute of limitations and 2) a basic tenet of American democracy is that all persons are equal before the law, therefore we the undersigned request the Attorney General to begin criminal proceedings for those who justified, approved or did torture during the George W. Bush Administration.

Why is this important?

I work overseas and the torture done by the U.S. and the continued existence of the prison at Guantanamo are a stain on this country's reputation as a democratic society. All citizens of this country would hopefully be in accord with this.
